Paris-based Chinese artist Du Zhenjun has reimagined the biblical ‘tower of Babel’ in various different contexts.
Du puts together an impressive piece of art in a stunning photomontage. Using fragments of skyscrapers, cathedrals and various monuments, he stitches them to form a massive tower. As for the ground, it is filled with images of unrest and natural disaster.
These contexts are some examples of things that are a threat to human existence even in this day and age. They include: huge winds, snow, conflict of law, destruction, and many more.
This series of work is full of symbolism as it juxtaposes the modern day context: tall towers fill our skylines, yet disharmony fills our streets.
